storm

storm is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from wangwei1237/agent-skills. It costs 72 tokens per session (1,381 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A research workflow that examines a topic from multiple viewpoints, gathers evidence, maps disagreements, and produces a checked synthesis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for deep research, contradiction analysis, evidence-based briefings, topic outlines, decision documents, or other cited reports.
Why use it?
It helps expose conflicting claims, missing perspectives, and weak evidence before turning research into a briefing, outline, or report.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

storm scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

STORM

Use STORM to research a topic through multiple perspectives, retrieve evidence, expose contradictions, synthesize an actionable briefing, and audit the result.

STORM here abstracts Stanford OVAL's "Synthesis of Topic Outlines through Retrieval and Multi-perspective Question Asking" into an agent workflow. It preserves the core pattern: perspective-guided question asking, evidence retrieval, outline/synthesis, drafting, and polishing.

When to Use

Use this skill when the task needs:

  • A nuanced briefing on a broad, contested, or high-stakes topic.
  • Research grounded in external sources or a user-provided corpus.
  • Multiple viewpoints before forming a recommendation.
  • Contradiction, incentive, blind-spot, or evidence-quality analysis.
  • A structured outline or long-form report with citations.

Do not use it for simple factual lookups, purely local code edits, or opinions that do not need research.

Core Workflow

1. Scope

Clarify or infer:

  • topic: the subject being researched.
  • user_role: who will act on the findings, if relevant.
  • output: briefing, outline, report, decision memo, test plan, roadmap, etc.
  • source_mode: live web, repository/docs, uploaded files, database, or user-provided text.
  • depth: quick, standard, or exhaustive.

If the topic is current, niche, medical, legal, financial, or otherwise high-risk, retrieve current sources before synthesizing. If retrieval is unavailable, state the limitation and ask for source material or proceed as an explicitly source-limited analysis.

2. Multi-Perspective Research

Research {topic} by simulating 5 expert perspectives:

  1. The practitioner: works with this topic every day. What do they know that academics miss? Which practical realities are usually ignored?
  2. The academic: has studied this topic for years. What does peer-reviewed evidence actually say? Where does evidence contradict popular belief?
  3. The skeptic: thinks the mainstream view is wrong. What is the strongest counterargument? What evidence do proponents tend to ignore?
  4. The economist: follows the money. Who benefits from the current narrative? What incentives shape the research or discourse?
  5. The historian: has seen similar patterns before. What historical parallels exist? What can be learned from how those cases played out?

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
